Duh. Aren't Alabama and Ireland pretty close together? What like maybe 100 miles apart?
(I kid, I kid. Once a young man of 24 was shocked when I told him Great Britain was an island. What do they teach people in US schools anymore??)
You're daffodils are charming, Philip. I wonder what variety they are? I tend to like flowers that are simple and a little "lighter" in mass than some of the newer "thicker" hybrid types. Love those hellebores. Wish I could find more varieties here.
